Hi ho friends

The other day we added paragraph 1.7 to the FAQ.

Now, I've actually been contacted by a representative from curl.com who's
concerned about our identical names, the confusion it causes and generally
asking if we have any good ways make them easier to deal with for the users.

The mail is included below, I've only removed his email address to not expose
him for anything. An interesting details is that the mail he is talking about
(as an example of a confused user), was a mail that they received asking
about libcurl! :-)

I am *very* interested in getting your views and suggestions. How would you
suggest we proceed?

Subject: cURL and Curl
Daniel:
As your team continues to excel with the developments of cURL and we at
Curl Corporation secure customers for our Curl Content Language, it has
been noted on forums such as /. of the similarity of our names.  We have
already received correspondence from prospective users of cURL who were
looking for the software you provide and have directed them to your web
site.  An example of such correspondence is included below.
In order to avoid future confusion and to facilitate the search by
customers for software that meets their needs, I would like to open a
dialogue with you and your colleagues regarding how best we should proceed
and cooperate in order to remedy any future potential confusion.  It could
be as simple as providing links on our respective web sites to direct
traffic to the appropriate web site.  I would like to explore any and all
ideas that might be possible.
How would you suggest we proceed?
Thank you.
bob.
